Lazio 3–1 Monza — Tavares stuns early, Pinamonti finishes the job
Tavares opened after three minutes, Monza had a player sent off and Pinamonti sealed Lazio’s 3:1 victory; Bologna won 2:1 at Lecce.
Lazio defeated Monza 3:1 in Rome on October 11, 2026, thanks to an early strike from Tavares, a red card for Monza and a late finish from Pinamonti.
The hosts broke the deadlock after just three minutes when Tavares produced “one of the most beautiful goals of the season” to put Lazio ahead 1:0. Lazio remained the more dangerous side through the remainder of the first half, creating several chances involving Taylor and Zakandzhi.
Later in the first half Noslin moved the ball from the right to Isaksen, who finished with his left into the far corner for 2:0. Monza were reduced to ten men when Lucezi, as the last defender, brought down Noslin and the referee issued a straight red card.
Second-half response and a late seal
Monza reduced the deficit less than a minute into the second half from a left-sided corner: Goglichidze converted after a coordinated move to make it 2:1. The visitors pushed for an equaliser, but Lazio restored daylight late on through Pinamonti, who sealed the match at 3:1.
Earlier on the same matchday Bologna claimed a 2:1 away win at Lecce. Orsolini put the visitors ahead in the 17th minute with a spectacular scissors finish. Lecce levelled in the 64th through Fatah, but Bologna secured all three points when Jay Enem scored the winner in the 75th minute.
